ABSTRACT
In 2 elderly male patients, a progressive neurologic deficit and alteration of consciousness developed following substantial head trauma succeeded by an asymptomatic "lucid" interval. The sequence of events and the associated electroencephalographic, echoencephalographic and cerebrospinal fluid findings strongly suggested the presence of an extracerebral hematoma. The cerebral angiographic study, however, disclosed complete occlusion of the extracranial portion of the internal carotid artery in both patients. This report stresses the diagnostic difficulties sometimes encountered in relation to stroke patients.
